    Hi all!

    A few weeks ago I got my block back from machinery shop. Unfortunately I have strong feeling that I have wrong piston set... I should have hi compression pistons but this set has deeper dishes than original pistons, new set has 1.6 mm ~0.06" dishes.
    I believe that this set is 9.0 compression version, not 10.2 as they should be. Am I right?

    thanks, Jupe

    correct the low comp. pistons have a deeper dish, the hi comp style are very scarce ,most machine shops just order replacement 340 pistons and they recieve the only ones that are avaible, I think a company www.egge.com has them but not sure of the quality if you spec hicomp or build it to orig specs they should refund some money so you can buy the ones you want.

    Thanks for good link! Just sent some email to egge.com, let's see what happens...

    TA Performance advertises 10.2 pistons too, should I go with Egge or should I choose TA Performance?
